VISITING NURSE MISS TODD MISS TODD capably fills the position of visiting nurse. Her work is devoted to determining and remedying the social problems of various students. Whenever a student has a problem that cannot be corrected by his adviser. the case is taken to Miss Todd. She investigates conditions in the student's home, and discovering his difficulty, seeks a satisfactory solution. Through the help of social agencies, churches, and settlement houses Miss Todd aids the various homes. For financial aid to carry on her work in obtaining clothing for needy students, Miss Todd draws upon the sum provided for this work by the Student Council and the welfare drive put on each fall within the school.

SCHOOL COUNSELOR ONE ol the most familiar guides at Edison is Miss Kocken, school counselor. Hers is a very important influence in helping to determine the vocation of each student. Ninth grade pupils during the course of their C. L. P. study have a conference with Miss Kocken regarding the subjects which will prove most suitable for them in the occupation they plan to pursue. If a student has difficulties in choosing his future vocation, Miss Kocken attempts to advise him on the most practical course. Throughout the following four years Miss Kocken continues to guide each pupil in selecting the most helpful type of study. In his last semester of high school each senior has an interview with Miss Kocken to consult with her on his future status, either as a college entrant or prospective employee. She also has charge of transferring those students who wish to enter some vocational school, and of distributing scholarships to deserving students. —■■—x—■ ■—y —••—y —••—►- —■■—y -■— - - —■-—v —- —y PEighteen
